First Grade vice-captain Rory Daburger on Saturday delivered a masterclass all-round performance in Orange CYMS's demolition of Bathurst City in the fifth round of the Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket competition.
The match was played at the Country Club Oval in the 40-over, one-day format after originally being slated as a two-day game thanks to torrential rain last weekend.
Playing against his former club, Daburger opened the bowling and batting, taking two key wickets with the ball before finishing 82 not out as CYMS ran down 165 runs in the 31st over for the loss of a single wicket.
Daburger took 2-25 off his eight overs of left-arm off-spin, claiming Bathurst City skipper Mark Day and fellow opener Muditha Adikari.
The pick of the CYMS bowlers was teenager quick Max Richards, who ripped though the Bathurst City lower order to finish with 4-31 off 7.1 overs.

Daburger and opening batting partner Joey Coughlan - himself a former Bathurst City player - then combined for a 145-run partnership to all but wipe out the required total.
Coughlan was eventually dismissed for 77 off 91 balls, striking nine boundaries, while Daburger hit eight fours and three sixes in his knock.
The win elevates them to third on the BOIDC ladder, behind Orange City and Cavaliers. Speaking to the Central Western Daily, Daburger said it was a statement win for the side.
"I was in a really good mindset, a clear state of mind going out there and I wanted to get to the first drinks break," he said.
"It was a big win, the boys were really happy.
"We are in some pretty good form at the moment, with the big win against St Pats and then into this game, another big win.
